Product Description

Lesson Objective: You will as a group develop a parabolic equation based on your football skills (don’t worry there will be plenty of practice). You will graph the parabola and write the equation on your best estimate of your throw between two group members. After you have come up with an equation in a Cartesian plane, we will come together at the end of class to convert this equation into a parametric equation. Keep in mind to round to the nearest whole number and you must estimate the height of your parabola. Clearly identify your points.
